Already dead

It happened long ago
a story never told
Hiding in your forever missing memories
we were best friends
then it all changed
faster than a blink of your innocent eyes
I sought and sought
for something more
but all I found was what I knew all along
a shell was left
and a tear was shed
the battle was forever and forever lost

I was
pulled on strings
I was
used for things
I was
missing dreams
I was
and forever am
a dead puppet

created by a man
in the image of a boy
I was never really ever truly me
I was forever changed
by the memories
and I was destroyed protecting the fake promise
I did not remember me
all I knew was you
and I thought maybe I could be a real me
these were just lies
I faded into your eyes
when you told me I would forever be just you

I was
pulled on strings
I was
used for things
I was
missing dreams
I was
and forever am
a dead puppet

'cause you never truly died
'till you've died inside
well I'll tell you one thing my friend
I'm already dead
